Kettle Cooked Barbecue Potato Chips

What is it?

Thick-cut, ridged potato chips with a reddish-brown barbecue seasoning come in a 7-ounce bag from Safeway's Signature Select line. Flavor leans sweet first, then smoky, with a little tang, onion, and garlic in the background. No real heat shows up in the mix. Compared with Signature Select's plain kettle chips, the same sturdy crunch here gives the seasoning more places to catch. Kettle browning adds a faint toasted note, and the chips stay closer to a classic barbecue profile than to anything spicy or vinegary. Ridges help hold seasoning in every groove.
